Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de graphitisation de blocs cathodiques, destinés à la production électrolytique d'aluminium, d'après la méthode de graphitisation en long. Ce procédé se caractérise en ce que les blocs cathodiques sont disposés dans un four de graphitisation en long de telle sorte que la distance entre leurs extrémités soit comprise entre 25 et 150 mm et en ce que le transfert de courant entre les différents blocs cathodiques se fasse par l'intermédiaire de corps conducteurs, les blocs cathodiques étant placés deux à deux sur les corps conducteurs de telle sorte que le contact entre ces blocs et lesdits corps soit établi par l'intermédiaire de la force de gravité s'exerçant sur les blocs cathodiques. L'invention concerne en outre les blocs cathodiques obtenus par ce procédé, ainsi que leur utilisation pour la réduction électrolytique d'oxyde d'aluminium.

IPC: G01V1/38

Abstract: This invention removes the effects of variable water velocity by calculating and applying corrections that map the seismic data to an ideal case of constant water velocity. All of the corrections assume, from a separate analysis step, that the vertical (zero-offset) timing errors induced by the water-velocity variations and that the zero-offset water bottom times are available. Equivalently, the water velocities are assumed known. The timing errors and water velocities are related. The zero-offset water-bottom times are also assumed available. From this information, and an arbitrarily-defined "ideal" water velocity, it is possible to calculate an observed (actual) water velocity relative to the "ideal" case. The only additional information needed is the angle of the ray path through the water layer. The angle may be calculated directly from normal moveout velocities derived from conventional analysis of the seismic data, and the information above. A time-dependent and offset-dependent correction may be derived for each sample of the seismic data prior to normal moveout correction.

Abstract: An actuator latch apparatus of a hard disk drive for locking an actuator
installed on a base not to pivot includes a locking protrusion provided at one side of
the actuator, a latch lever installed on the base to be capable of pivoting and
elastically biased such that a hook portion provided at one side of the latch lever
restricts the locking protrusion, and an air flow pipe provided at the base and
generating a driving torque to the latch lever by a difference in pressure between the
atmosphere and air flowing along an air channel formed in the air flow pipe. Thus,
since locking and unlocking are performed by selectively restricting the locking
protrusion provided at the actuator, unlocking can be smoothly performed without
any impacts while a locking state is maintained firmly. Also, since the latch lever is
driven by the rotation of the hard disk, an additional supply of current which is
needed in the conventional magnetic type latch apparatus is not needed so that
consumption of current can be reduced.

Abstract: An electrically powered hammer is provided having a hammer housing (10,15) within which a spindle (4) is located, with a tool holder (36) located at a forward end of the spindle. The hammer has a hammering mechanism (3, 5, 24) for generating repeated impacts on a tool or bit mounted in the tool holder, which hammering mechanism includes a piston (24) reciprocatingly mounted within the spindle. A wobble drive arrangement (12, 16, 18, 20) reciprocatingly drives the piston (24). A trunnion arrangement including a cross bolt (26) is engaged by the wobble drive arrangement and the cross bolt is rotatably mounted between a pair of piston arms (80) so as to transfer the reciprocating movement from the wobble drive to the piston. A protrusion (86) is located on the rearward end of the piston between the piston arms (80) so that the protrusion defines two recesses (88) one between the protrusion and the first arm and the other between the protrusion and the second arm. Each of the recesses is shaped so as to support an associated washer (90) of a pair of wear reducing washers in an assembled position. When assembled each washer (90) fits around the cross bolt (26) in a region adjacent the inwardly facing face of the associated piston arm so as to reduce wear between the cross bolt and the piston arms. A piston suitable for such a hammer arrangement and a method of assembling a piston and trunnion arrangement including such a piston are also provided.

Abstract: To prevent adaptation to misrecognized words in unsupervised or on-line automatic
speech recognition systems confidence measures are used or the user reaction
is interpreted to decide whether a recognized phoneme, several phonemes,
a word, several words or a whole utterance should be used for adaptation
of the speaker independent model set to a speaker adapted model set or
not and, in case an adaptation is executed, how strong the adaptation with
this recognized utterance or part of this recognized utterance should be performed.
Furtheron, a verification of the speaker adaptation performance is proposed
to secure that the recognition rate never decreases (significantly), but
only increases or stays at the same level.

Abstract: A system for facilitating production of information material comprises a
plurality of metadata nodes operable to process metadata describing the content of
information material, and a data communications network for providing a facility for
communicating the metadata between the metadata nodes. The metadata is
represented as metadata strings describing the content or attributes associated with the
information material. The metadata string includes a Uniform Resource Identifier
(URI) providing an address of a storage location of an associated metadata resource.
The metadata string is communicable separately from the information material via the
network and the associated metadata resource is accessible via the network using the
resource identifier. The metadata string can be arranged to provide an indication of
parameters describing the information material and identifiers such as UMIDs or the
like which facilitate navigation of the information material. The associated metadata
resource can be arranged to provide any further metadata having a substantial volume.
Accordingly the metadata resource does not need to be communicated with the
metadata string, thereby substantially reducing data communications on the network.
